Chapter 1.4, A terrible message!

His mom seemed bleach... like she had seen a ghost. Tears were dropping like a waterfall... she simply walked past him and he looked at her come bye. He looked a bit confused... something in his heart told him something was not right. "Mom?" he asked concerned... however no answer came. The woman simply walked past him. "Mom!?" he asked her again, this time a little louder. "What's wrong?" He put his hand on her shoulder and she looked at him with her eyes full of tears.

She softly stammered his name and shook her head. Shinya was confused for he had never seen his mom act like this. "Mom?" he once again asked and led her to the nearby couch. She sat down and looked at him. "I have something to confess...." She started. Shinya looked confused at her. "Before you were born... I and... an other man had a baby." He looked at her in disbelieve. "What are you talking about!?"

"Well... the kid was killed just a few days ago... he drowned... in the pond in the park." Shinya's heart skipped a beat as he thought back of the white dragon he thought which had only been an apparition. "Even though I and he separated, I still loved the kid like he was my own... and now... he's gone!"

All this time she had kept such a secret from him? He was confused... he had a brother, and now he lost him... without even ever getting to know the boy he was sad. He felt like talking about it. But not to his mother... who would hear him out... who would understand him?

Just then his eyes shifted to upwards at the ceiling... just where his room was. It was stupid... talking to someone about something like this. Yet that person was the only one he could talk to excepting his mother!

Shinya got up, tears stinging behind his eyelids. He heard his mom saying he could come talk to her when he felt like it. But she was the last person he wanted to talk to now.

He sat down in from of his computer waiting for the screen to show.

The Ghost inside:
Back? Anything wrong?

Shinya:
Just heard some horrible news...

The Ghost inside:
Hope no one died.

Shinya:
Sadly, someone has... Although I didn't even know the person... he was family...

The Ghost inside:
Don't worry. He'll always be around when you need him.

Shinya:
How do you know? Ever been there!?

The Ghost inside:
That ain't a nice thing to say... ==

Shinya:
You are right... sorry. YY

The Ghost inside:
I'll see what I can do for you. I'll see you tonight.

And with those words the person logged off. Shinya wanted to know what the guy ment... he did not understand. Was he planning to come by? It scared him. He ran downstairs with still tearing eyes, outside... into the shed and grabbed a baseball-bat. As soon as he got the item he returned to his room and put it next to his bed. Shinya turned off the screen and put on some soft relaxing and most sad music as he started taking off his clothes. He had not showered last day, and he should do so now.
